PoznaVame, ze kaidk z Nas stargieh musi, aby se prace nage darila, nejake Ustupky. Tedy paniatujine na to Ze pakli chceme aby na ge Jednota zkvetala a prospivala jak doposud, nekdy k dosaieni toho cile, nutno nekdy osobni zajmy celku podriditi. tim da.steje se Schazirne, tim vice seznavame ze by" ti dobrkm elenem Jednoty, znamena nejen bkti dbalyin elenern a podporou sveho-tadu, ale bYti I laSkavSTrn pomocnikem kdy treba, bez ohledu na to, zda, na g blfzni chova rozliene °salmi pkesveddeni.

Nacre jednani, ' nage chovani, na ge osobni vlastriosti mohou i do jiste miry bfli vysvedeeirn toho jak pochopili jsme to na g e bratrstvi spolk,ove, ktere nagimi hesly vyjacikujeme.

Vzrostli jsme z maleho hloueku ria velkou silnou Jednotu. Rozkvet docilen byl spolecnou praci, a poctivou snahou naseho elenstva. — Dik rispe gnernu vedeni i vzdor tomu, ze nase cinnost se olamezova,la jen na na g Texas, neustale budovalo' se fispe gne na dobrem zakladu.

Chcerne dozajiste dal tak pokracovati a tu netigkodi si uvedomiti, ze ye svornosti, y souladu a s ohledem na kaaleho

kdo ma poctivy iimysl budovat, to lehce dokaleme.

Mame Jednotu dobrou, jistou, vernou svemu poslani. — DernokratickYm sobem volime si sve vedeni i na ge feditele a jest na nas, abychom je podporovali a jim drivdovali.

Hled'me si dobre shody a osobnosti nechme stranou a co se i vyskytne, muzem rill dobre vuli urovnati anus bychom na obdiv staveli na ge osobni nedorozumeni.

Poznavame kaZdS7 vek ma sve zvlagtnosti, zvlagtni nahledy a '2'e ve stati nage obraznost neni tak bujna, a mnoho co nas zajimalo, te givalo, zmizelo. Je tedy zajiste ne,m zapottebi se pkizprisobiti to na gi rnladdi.

Stall Tide zridka maji tolik ohledu, by se vmyslili v postaveni mlaOch a ne nYbr2 podporovali jejich radovanky a snahy. Starci dasto Zadaji, by mladik soudil tei tak klidne, jako oni.

Dovolte abych opet Vas upozornil, ze jedenkaalSr ten nag novY Glen posuzuje na gi Jednotu, kdy mezi nas vstoupi die toho, jak se chovame k nemu, jak se v nagich schrizich chovame jeden k druhernu. A tedy je gte jednou, osobni zajmi musi ustoupiti zajm.0 nagi Jednote, ktera nam v gem poskytuje pfilditost dilo nage spoledne zlepgiti, co2 nektere na ge ta,dy jak vidite ze zprav, svedomite v gestranne p.lni. — Hled'me je kde jen mono riapodobiti a nezapomerite, ze vAude Vase dobre sestry radove jsou na ge verne a spolehlive pamocnice.

Nezapominejte na to bratfi a tam kde vlastnite tadovou sin, udelejte nagim sestram trochu toho pohodli. Jsem jist, ze se Vam pilnou svoji snahou za to odmeni. Vzpomerite i toho, ze Va ge ditky radi s Vami budou "spolkarit" kdyZ jim nejakou tu radost zptisobite.

Sestry

ratii!

Fri psani me stati o slavnosti dedikaeni "Domova Odpoeinku" priala mi na mysl zprava z Moravana o jedne krajne obetave naai 2eny, ueltelky pani Bo2ony Hrejsove, ktera jak se zde doetete z laskou pracovala na Morayskem Slovacku za prvni a drahe svetove 'stalky pro sve bli2ni s uprimneho, citliveho srdce. — Necht' tento popis vaechny Vas pratele prikladem sy Ym k nasledovani a k podpore naaeho "Domova" nadchne.

2ivot mo2no napinit jen laskou, hebezapren.im a slu2bou. Je mnoho obetavYch lidi na svete, kteil 2iji jen pro blaho sy Ych bli2nich a nemaji kdy myslit na sebe. Takovou dobrou duai, mdmou yaech malYch i y elkYch trpicich lidi byla Bo2ena Hrejsova. Jejim rodiatem jsou Pohledske Dvoraky u Ha yliekova Brodu.

Ulla ve Valaaskem Liptale, v Lipove u Stra2nice a brzy zakotvila trvale ye Stral nici .Bokna Hrejsova, chuda ueitelka, byla jedno z nejlepaich deer nail vlasti.

Zasvetila svuj 2ivot praci pro blaho chu dello Morayskeho Slovacka. Byla. vzornou ueitelkou, ktera vychova yala deti pro Iivot a vedla je a starala se o ne a jejich budoucnost kdy2 opustily akolu.

Znala rodinne pomery svYch svekencti nutno najiti rodine zdravY byt, jinde a vedela kde a jak pomoci. Nekde bylo praci a oaaceni, Made naala nemocnou matku s detmi ye velike bide. Sehnala kale, posla,la k matte pomocnici, aby mohla lekti a Wait se. Deti, ktere potre bovaly leceni v nemocnici, vozila do Uherskeho Hradiato nebo do Brna. Ka,2dY tYden byla v Brna a pkispela k uzdraveni mnoha deti, ktere bez jeji pomoci byly by zenarely nebo zUstaly mrzaky.

Studentskemu a uefloyskemu dorostu opatrila byt v rtiznYch Utulcich jako v Americke Domovine v Brne, v 2enske tulne v IWCA a jinde, kdy dokonelli mladi lids studium nebo byli po vyueeni, opatrovala jim mista a bdela nad jejich racInS7m chovanim. Vychovala z nich kadu, spolehlivSrch spolupraco ynikteri ji v praci pomahali, proto2e se tak rozrastala, ze na ni uz sama nestaella. Bo2ena Hrejsova byla svin bli2nim vkly ochotnou radkyni a pomocnici.

Klepayali ji brzy rano na okno, kdy2 jell na pole nebo do price a svekovali se ji jako mame, se vaemi te2kostml.

Prespolni prichazeli v nedeli pa slunach Bo2ich a byli v2dy vlidne prijati. Zajimala se o osudy vaech lidi a sna2ila se najiti lek na kaMou bolest tela i duae.

Slou2ila nejen lidern sveho okoli, ale celemu narodu verne a oddane. Videla v kahlem sveho bli2niho, at' priael z prava nebo z leva, z vlasti nebo z ciziny.

VESTNtIC — WEST, TEXAS Nenaael-li nikde rady , a pomoci, Hrejsova nasytila a postarala se o nej jak ne j -lepmoha.Nelcdymsitnaeb.

Rozdavala nejen sve srdce, ale ten sve pozemske statky.- Nejednou zjistila, ze rozdala posledni stievice, ze ma jell to, co ma na sobs a penize z platu vyeerpane. Dodo to tak. daleko, ze museli jeji verni spolupracovnici zakroeiti a dohli2eti na pani ueitelku, aby ze sveho platu koupila nap ped sobs aeho nutne poticimje a potbm rozclavat bli2nim. Zlobila se easto 2e je pod kuratelou, ale teply kabat piece jen heal jeji chore srdieko, ktere ani v pensi neodpoeivalo. Aikavala :"Zacine hlouposti nedelej, me drahe srdce; rule, nevyskakuj a slut — mush sc mnou rajtovat po svete — mame jeate kus prate pied sebou." Nikdo na •svete ji neodolal, proto2e veal, ze iuti kraloystvi Boil na zerni.. Lids ji ochotne pomahali, Yeah dobre, 2e kona nadlisiou praci. Bo2ena Hrejsovd prispela k zalo2eni liclove malirny ye Stra2nici. Vedela, 2e se tim vyu2ije urneleckeho, zvlaat' kreslitskeho nadani Slovackeho lido a pointi2e se mu k vYclelku. Slovacke kny a divky vyaiyaly svetozname, cenne veci a Yydelavaly tim na nutne domed_ potre by. Vyaivani ph patnem sVetle petrolejoyYch lampieek bylo inorne. Tyto yzac no vYaivky prodavaly 2eny vetainou obchodialkilm, od nich2, kupovaly platno a prizi na vYaivIcy. Obchodnici vydelali dva krat, jednou na materiale a podruhe na hotovYch vYaivkach, jen lacino koupi li a draho prodavali. Hrejsova Veclela i zde rady a pomoci. Vozila do Brna s nemocnYmi cletmi ten baliky vYaivek. Proda vala je svkin znair.Ym, kteri za krasne vYrobky rash slums zaplatili. SloVacke, 2enieky mely vetai yYdelek a lepai chut' k praci. Za prvni al/Rove valky byla duai spOlkua " Ceske ' srdce'', jeho2 bylo peeovati a StravoVani a Oaacovani eeSkYch deti. Hned v prvnim roce, postsrala se o 600 eeskS7ch yidefiskYch a brnenskYch deti, pro ne-2 pripravila o prazd ninach vzorne ubytOvani a stravo y ani ve akolach Mora yskeho Slovacka. Takove Prazdninove kolonie zrizovala pak ka2cloroene i po valce a prospivala tak hojnou merou mestskYm detem. Pied .25 roky zaloZila okresni peel o inlade2 ve Strahlici kde nasty pcmoe potrebne deti z celeho soudniho okresu. Pracovala ten Oervenem kki0. Zildila okresni detskk clomov pro sirotky a deli opuWene, na§la dobre lidi, kteh si vzali sirotky za vlastni nebo je za rnirny noplatek clom p, vvehovavali.Poradna pro motley a kojence la v Bolene Firejsove materskou radkyni a pomocnici. Prace se daPila, cl.obreh spolupracovnikti a clarcil pkibf/valo a pani ueitelka zatila radosti, Vybudovala Detskou ozdravovnu v horske vesnrci Radejove u Stralnice, kde se stridaly telesne

VESTNIK — WEST, TEXAS

Z Domova OdpoCinku, Taylor, Texas Taylor, Texas (Podava Stepan Valeik) Pisi tyto raciky po delSim vahani premy'Sleni. S y Ynn slovy nechci zmenSit utiteenost Vestniku, ani poSkodit zajmy Jednoty. Ku psani nine prinutily sledlujici udalosti: Ve Vestniku 26. brezna bylo "Dtletite upozorneni", to nebudou uverejneny dopisy tykajiei se prcbiemd Domova odpoeinku. Hned po preeteni tohoto ukvapeneho rozhodnuti napsal jsem, te nesoulilasim.

Bratr Ho.Lf;ek infij elanek neuverejnil, ae se tak mohlo stati dvakrat. On s mYm yysy etlenim nesouhlasi.

Zamenili jsme si mista. Dokud jsem byl reciaktorem, totit dokud jsem byl yystay enY ()elm a kritice elent—jako bych sedel ye sklenenem domku—uyerejnil jsem katdg,7 jeho elanek. Dokonce dostal za to z me kapsy d ye odmeny, hromadka soukromYch dopisti od nej dosvedei, te mi dodaval kurate, te nine povzbuzova,t, abych psal psal zretelne, bez kudrlinek, otevrene, a te mYch fivah "nam je treba jako rybe voda."

Kdyt se sam dostal do skleneneho dom ku, zmenil. Otyrikrat nine elanky zastavil. Ryby ut vodu neootrebuji. Ma posmrtni vzpominka na zesnuleho bratra Jos. Hornaka, bYvaleho predsedy Tisko'Mao vYboru, mohla bYti uverejnena at na zakroeeni a rozkaz dra. Mieka, nynejS'iho predsedy Tiskoveho vS7boru.

Neehei debatu. Jsem prozatimnim sprayeem Domova. Pomohl jsem vybudovat nee°, co v oeich verejnosti ma daleko vetS.1 cenu net me rozumy ye Vest• niku. Na vYsledek nasi spoleene prace jsem hrdY. Vykonal jsem za rok vice net drive za osm rokt. vedeni Vestniku. Proto jsem se ozval. Je to v zajmu Domova..

Bratr HoSek uznai , te intj elanek se do Vestniku nehodi.

Neni kriminalnim preeinem miti rtznost nahledt. Mou zdsadou je dtti katdemu svobodu slova — i kdyt nesouhlasim. Jeho voditkem je neuverejnit, s elm on nesouhlasi. A -nepoSle to 'ani Tiskovemu yYbortt k rozhodnuti.

Jestli je redaktor majitelem Vestniku, poddam se. Je-li ale Vestnik dosud majetkem elenti, redaktor by met yyhoyet, pokud se elanky nepriei pojmu slntnosti.

Ma-li peehybnosti, stanovy jsou zretelne. VSechny dopisy necitstojneho a poehybneho obsahu MUSI bSrti redaktorem zaslany Tiskovemu vStoru. Tak tomu bylo drive. Chceme-li v budoucnosti zkracovati eleny o svobodu slova, poekejme s tim at do sjezdu. Delegati v San Antoniu o tom rozhodnou.

Teprve nekolik let po jejim skoneeni, kdy zaeala vzrtistat emigrate 6echil a Slovakil do Kanady, do8lo k zahajeni nove sokol ske price v Kanade. Byla to v2dy prate mnohem teZg i a obtiZnei gi, neZ s sousednich SpojenYch Statech. V'Zdyt' obrovska, Kanada meti 3,849,997 etvereenich mil, a je tedy o celou etvrtinu yetAi net' Spojene Sta.ty.

Na tak obrovske rozloze pracuje dnes 8 sokolskYch jednot, 5 v provincii Ontario, 2 v provincii Quebec a jedna v Manitobe, z nicbZ dosed Zadnd nemela svoji vlastni. Sokolovnu.

Bylo to proto radostne a “rznamne rozhodnuti, kdyZ podatkern lonskeho roku sokolska jednota Toronto II. zakoupila budovu biografu, ktera svou polohou i velikosti se velmi dobre hodila k pi•estavb'e na Sokolovnu.

Po tomto zavahiem rozhodnuti zaealo se ihned s pripravami.

Rozsahlou presta yba budovy umoknila i bratrska organisace Slo venskeho Sokolstva ye SpojenYch Statech ktera jednote poskytla vkhodnou zapiljeku na provedeni vSech pottebnY upray.

Po vykonani techto ptiprav bylo pied nekolika mesici ptikroeeno k zahajeni piestavby. Od to doby je v budove prigti torontske Sokolovny neustale ruSno. — Denne ptichaze'ji nejen temeslnici a od bornici ,ale i ochotni bratti a sestry, kteti pii vgech pracech nadene poniahaji. tstiedi Oeskoslovenskeho Sokolstva zahraniei, uznavajic velkY vyznam -OW prvni Sokolovny na kanadske pude, svolalo do nove Sokolovny na nedeli 18. kyet na dopoledne slavnostni schdzi s yeho vY boru, — ktere se sueastni vsichni elenove vYboru i pi•edsednictva fist f: edi ze Sp. stata a z Kanady.

Gina Pagani "A ptedevgim o tom ani slova!" pravila Nina sve panence, kdyZ domluvila a posadila ji pi tom na, zdlicku u zdi. My slela si, ze nelze nikdy dosti naupominati k mleenlivasti, jedna,li se o nejake tajernstvi; a to, co prave prozradila sve prvorozene Lucille, to bylo opravdove taj emstvi.

Nutno vedeti, ze Nina byla gt'astna maminka tady panenek, ktere nazYvala svYmi cletmi. VSeho v gude jich bylo deset — povatte! PlavovlasYch, snedYch, modrookYch, dernookYch, tlustYch, hubetiouelYch, z perniku, ze sadry, z klejo viny; a jmenovaly se: Lucilla, Brunela, Ghita, Rosalia, Bice, Geltruda, Rina, Bibi Carlotta a Magdalena.

I stavalo se, Ze, Gustavo, jeden z pet deti Nininy tety, jediny mu2s14' mezi to likes Zemin! (nebot' ostatn1 etyll byly divenkami) se 1311 jejich spoleemich brach citil pills odstrkovan. On se dokcnale nudil p i brach deveat a mezi loutkami, takk to temek vZdy koneivalo tim, ze roznarzele usecll nekam stranou.

Ve stkedu, dne 16. dubna 1958 V jedne z techto chvil klidu a sousttedenosti mel slcv'elY napad.

Pomyslil si: "Narodove maji kralovny; take studen ti voli mezi studentkami svou kralovnu, prod by tedy nemohly loutky take mit svou kralovnu? Mel by se utvoiit vybor, ktery by zkoumal a posuzoval telesnou krasu NininYch loutek a nejkrasnejgi ptitkl cenu. Tato cena sestavala by z balieku dokolady, kterY bychom pak spoledne snedli."

Ty by byla 'Dana hra, ktere by se raohl siteastniti take Gustavo, ani by tim trpela jeho midska diistojnost. Pral si vSak aby to zustalo tajemstvim jednak pro ostatni lidi, jednak pro samy panenky, kterYm talc chystal piekvapeni; mile piekvapeni pro tu, ktere se dostane ceny,, nemile pro ty, ktere budou odrgteny.

Nina vgak, ktera byla males tladhalka a nedovedla zachovati Zadne tajemstvi, brzy to na geptala sve nejstargi, zujic ji, aby to neiikala nikomu. Panenka, jak vite, ani neduta a proto Nina LIZ vedela ze skugenosti, 'ze na mleelivost sve Lucilly se mohla spolehnouti.

Ptigel velkY den. Ad to byla ka.asna, nedele ,a slunce svitilo, dal s radosti 0betevaly odpoledni prochazku, aby mohly uskutednit zabavu, kterou si vyrnyslel Gustavo.

Nina, milujici maminku, ktera neclava, Zadne ze svYch dcerukk ptednost pied ostatniml a vkchny je miluje stejnou laskou, vystrojila panenky do jejich nejkrasnefaich Satieek, aby krasa kaide jednotlive co nejlepe vynikla. Tak oblekla snede do ridova anebo do derve na, plavovlase do media. Ptivpravila hed vabi se zlatYin lemovanim a nahrdelnik z perlidek.

Tu u2 se tichem domu rozlehal hover: ptichazel bratranek se sestilekami. Ib.ned zapodala to nova zabava. Gustavo jen zaiil, nebot' spolu se syYmi sestrami Marii a Enrichettou byl elenem rozhodMho vYboru. Ostatni i s Ninou tvotily divaky.

Tak, jednu po druhe, si prohlecili vgechny a na fSech .shledal nejake vady; bud' stfapate vlasy, nebo pfili gbled oblidej, nebo oclisenSr nos.. Mezi vkmi dese ti nebylo ani jedine, ktera by byla stojna, aby se stala kralovnou.

FRC Our Fraternal System Will Succc:1 Because it goes to the very heart of human nature — the love of man for his family — and since it is so important to the well-being of individuals, social communities and the nation, it is worth while to give it some thought.

From the very beginning of things, there have been obligations arising out of social contacts. The fourth chapter of the Bible's first book puts on record the momentous question — "Am I 'my Brother's keqper?" Todayl's viewpoint is that every man has a certain re-, sponsibility toward others.

Each of the societies comprising the National Fraternal Congress of America recognize this principle and has done so since the day of its inception. Our work in building and guiding the destinies of fraternalism, whether we are officers or members, is and always will ba an arduous task. But what a wonderful work it is — the Brotherhood of Man. During this year, the elected officers of the National Fraternal Congress of America will continue: ONE, to strive to further fraternalism in every sense of its meaning by protecting the families of our members through our fine fraternal insurance benefits; and TWO, to bring to the nations involved in this Congress an awareness of our strength, our ability to provide complete family protection and our desire to foster a united community spirit in the interests of our country.

Our Fraternal System is worthy of all our efforts. Let us be vigilant; strong and courageous so that this year and each successive year our societies may report even greater gains in membership and services to mankind. ) ofa

EDIT R'S DESK Electrical Hazards e Do you allow only qualified electricians Commissioners to install or extend your electric wiring,

In the past year there were eight changes in the annual list of 65 Insurance Commissioners of the United States and Canada. Six states — Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin have new officials and there were also changes in Alaska and in New foundla.nd. The revised list has had assistance from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Foster F. Farrell's able secretary, Miss Lillian M. Mueller of the National Fraternal CongresS of America. and Miss Bessie Allen of the Canadian Fraternal Assn.

Although their duties are every similar from Newfoundland to Alaska their titles are as varied and about as colorful as were those of fraternal officials 40 years ago. In Canada the correct title throughout nine of the ten provinces is "Superintendent of Insurance." This title is correct for five states — Alabama, Missouri, New Mexico, New York and Ohio. It also applies to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The only exce p tion In Canada is Newfoundland where your mail should be addressed to the "Deputy Minister of Finance."

Texas, as befits its size, has three Commissioners — Life, Fire and Casualty. The list gives the Life Insurance Coff,missioner.

"Director of Insurance" is the correct title in Arizona, Illinois and Nebraska.

In 16 states the proper title is "Commissioner of Insurance" — Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnessota, Mississippo, Montant, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Vermont and Wisconsin.

The most frequent title is "Insurance Commissioner" which is 100 per cent correct in 23 states and in Alaska and

Know How To Save Your Life Knowing what to do in these situations may save your life someday: 1. You are in a crowded public place when someone cries "Fire!"

2. Your clothing suddenly catches fire!

3. You wake up in the middle of the night and smell smoke!

In the first situation: Walk, don't run, to the nearest exit. Don't panic. Panic is a killer. Ironically, though it springs from a consuming desire to stay alive it is apt to destroy you.

Time after time it has turned relatively minor emergencies into riots in which scores of people are suffocated or trampled to death.

Panic is contagious. It can spread in an instant from one hysterical person to a roomful of people. The way to control it is to keep it from starting — by being prepared for emergencies.

In the second situation: If your clothes catch fire, fold your arms across your chest, drop to the floor or ground.

If possifle roll up in a rug or heavy coat.

Otherwise, roll over and over to smother the flames.

In the third situation: Before you open your bedroom door, put the palm of your hand against it. If the door is hot, the outer hall is filled with deadly heated gases. If not, open the door a bit, turning your head away from the opening and bracing the foor with your foot. Pass your hand across the opening.

If the air is cool and there is no pressure, the hall should be safe.

If fire has cutoff all escape routes from the upstairs room, don't jump out the window. You may hurt yourself needlessly. Open the window slightly and wait there for rescue. Breath the fresh outside air. If it becomes necessary to jump, throw out your mattress to, land on.

) Homestead Subject To Sale For Taxes

Many Texans have the mistaken impression that their homestead cannot be seized and sold for delinquent taxes.

In many cases, this idea has led to considerable grief and monetary loss which could have been avoided. A homestead should be rendered to tax assessors like any other property, and taxes assessed against it should be paid as faithfully as those on any other taxable property.

The deadline for rendering property for taxation is April 1, so far as most

VESTNIK ®- WEST, IMAS city taxing agencies are concerned. The last date for rendering real and personal property for state and county taxes is April 30. State taxes are collected by the County Tax Collector.

Under the Texas Constitution, each family is entitled to claim one piece of real property as their homestead. This claim must be established by an affidavit filed with the county tax assessor on or before April 30, each and every year.

This affidavit must be filed by the owner himself. A lending agency cannot do so, even though it may actually pay the created by the owner's monthly installments.

When the homestead affidavit is properly filed, the owner becomes entitled to an exemption of State taxes up to the value of $3,000 or 200 acres in the case of farm lands. This is an exemption from payment, not a complete exemption from rendition and assessment. "There is no similar exemption with reference to city taxes, or to county taxes, except in certain counties levying a special 30 cent farm-to market and lateral road tax."

The homestead claifed for tax purposes need not be the property which is actually occupied by the owner as his residence.

When the homestead affidavit is not filed by April 30, the taxpayer loses his right to the $3,000 or 200 acre exemption and consequently becomes liable for more taxes than he would otherwise be required to pay.

Property taxes are assessed against the person who is the recorded owner of each piece of real and personal property on the first day of January of each year.

Individuals purchasing property during the year should make sure that the taxes for all previous years have been paid.

Otherwise, the purchaser may be forced to pay hundreds of dollars in delinquent taxes to protect his property. Unpaid taxes create a lien against the property which can be enforced regardless of change of ownership.

One should keep in mind to make some arrangement for the previous owner to pay his pro-rata share of taxes for the current year. Otherwise, the buyer may find it necessary to pay the entire taxes for that year.

Rep lrts From Local Lodges LODGE PROKROK NO. 88, HOUSTON, TEXAS

Dear Members and Friends, Our Easter Dance was a great big success. New faces were present for the occasion and many members that we hadn't seen for quite some time came to have a joyous evening of pleasant entertainment. The orchestra of Connor Herridge with his versatile style music and puls personality was applauded time and time again by our overflowing crowd. All of our youth membership, as well as the old, present for the gala dance were very happy to swing and sway to the tunes of the modern music dance band. Plans are in the making of having Connor Herridge orchestra again in the future. Our beautiful dancing ballroom, which was so exquisitely decorated under the direction of our chairman Mrs. Birdie Hilsher was indeed something to see and rave about. The ceiling lights of variable colors were criss-crossed with long pink and white streamers. The center ceiling of our ballroom had hanging Easter eggs of red, green, yellow and blue colors blending with the beautiful purple and silver borders of our ceiling lights. The orchestra stage was decorated with cut out Easter eggs of blue, green, yellow and purple, spelling the words "Joyous Easter." The walls were adorned with cut out, hand painted pairs of pink, white and blue Easter rabbits. The several

Strana 19 mirrors were bordered by silver strings with exotic colored Easter eggs in the center of each mirrow. It's been a long, long time since our ballroom was so beautifully decorated — thanks Birdie Hilsher, for a job well done. The floor show with Johnny Sontag as our spot light technician, and Mrs. Weikerth as our master of ceremony for the evening, really put on a floor show that will long be remembered. The Weikerth school of dancing presented eight varied acts as follows: The jazz pizzicatto, Green Ballet, The acrobatic, Manhattan Serenade, Rhapsody For You, A room Exhibition, The Rock Rights and The Quarette Shadows.

Another thanks goes to one of our non' members, Mr. Paul Kindred, who aof4 fered to sell our advanced tickets for the occasion. Mr. Kindred you did' a wonderful job and here's hoping one. our organizers signs you up as a member — perSons like you always show good fraternalism. Again, it should be pointed out that by working together. as a team, anything a club undertakes will be a success. All the committees of our, club did a wonderful job, and all they ask is that a few non-working merri,. bers give them a helping hand once t11 a while. Our lodge is always trying to bring it's members some type of good entertainment and the committees who plan these socials in their behalf, should at least be extended the small courtesy,. by its membership to come out and at, tend these planned functions — just come out once in a while, and be one ,of the courteous members who appreciate the hard work the committees are doing for them — they can do another step forward by volunteering to help the committees when some event is being planned. We wish to again announce that the Dramatic Club will give a Czech play on the 18th of May — be sure and mark this on your calendar as a must — and remember "Fear Is Lack Of Faith."

Let's Be Friends, LOUIS HANDS, Vice-President LODGE NO. 15 BUCKI!OLTS, TEXAS

Dear Brothers and Sisters: Just a few words to remind you that our next meeting will be held the third Sunday -- the 20th — in April as usual.

In our last Meeting which was poorly attended, there was some discussion as to how to raise money to pay for our new roof on the Hall. Some of the good sisters that were at our last Meeting decided to sell eats on our dance nights.

So on the Easter Sunday dance night they tried their luck, and did real well.

ANSWER: While you can safely visit your husband, any extended residence abroad may well endanger your citizenship, since you have only been naturalized recently. The law provides that if a naturalized citizen takes up residence in a foreign country within five years after naturalization, this is prima facie evidence that such person did not intend to reside permanently in the United States and unless he can prove the contrary, his naturalization may be revoked and set aside. In general a naturalized citizen loses his citizenship if he resides continuously for three years in the country of which he was formerly a national, or in which the place of his birth is located, or for five years in any other foreign state or states. )•4•( With all the different brands of rouge on the market, it's easy for a young gal to blush unseen.

Children's. Youth Club ENNIS, TEXAS, LODGE 135 FELLOW ,YOUTHI. The Ennis Sokol Hall was the scene for an Easter Egg Hunt Saturday afternoon for a very nice group of excited children. There were about 50 children, each carrying an Easter basket with colored eggs, a twinkle in their eye and a big grin. The Easter Egg Hunt was sponsored by the Sokol and SPJST Lodge No. 135. While the larger Sokol girls and a few of the mothers hid the eggs, the children were entertained indoors with games. Then the children were divided into two age groups and led out to look for the eggs. In the tot group prizes were won by: First — Danny Bouska; Second, Ronnie Emerson; Third, a tie between Mikie Wensowitch and Buddy Emmerson.

In the older group prizes were won by Doris Moucka — First; Jeannette Jurcik — Second •and Larry Laznovsky — Third.

After the prizes were given the children were served refreshments consisting of a varity of cookies. candy and punch. After refreshments they enjoyed doing the "Bunny Hopp" which is very appropriate at this Easter season and the Hokie Pokie. Music came from a record player.

I hope that each and everyone of the Vestnik readers had a very happy Easter.

Having a few idle hours and no homework during the Easter holidays, I find that this is an opportune time to write my report about the youth activities of Lodge No. 92. First of all and before I write about another subject, I wish to say that the Youth Club is very grateful to the Lodge and all who donated money to the Club or brought or bought kolaces, donuts, etc., at the District Meeting on March 23.

Our little fund-raising refreshment sale certainly exceeded our expecta tions and many sincere thanks and a pat on the back is given to everyone who

VgSTNI.K — WEST, TEXAS contributed to its success.

At the Youth Club's last meeting on March 30, it was decided that a committee consisting of Joe Paul Hubenak, Norma Chaloupka, and Bill McLendon, would meet with the trustees of Lodge 92 to discuss having dances on Friday nights or another convenient night. The Club was also informed of the Youth meeting at Ennis to which everyone is invited to enter the handicraft, cooking, etc., exhibits. We will have representa tion at this all-day meeting in June.

It was suggested that the club have a Mother's Day program and Marsha Cohen was appointed program chairman.

After the meeting there was an Easter Egg Hunt and the following fourtunate people walked off with prize money for having found the prize eggs. They are: Vicki Phillips, Fred Skrabanek, Joan Elizabeth Motl, Michael Oujesky, Gary Skrabanek, Sylvia Koch, Michael Greer, Georgia Kubala, Barbara Dana, Eric Koch, Jerry McLendon, and Bill McLendon.

Everyone should take this matter seriously for what could possibly be mote important than our children's future.

I did hurry into by garden to cut° a mess of Swiss Chard but took it into the house for cleaning and 'preparing instead of dousing it with a hose outside before carrying it into my kitchen. I have found that by putting vegetables in pl,Istic bags and placing them in your reirigei ator gives them a crispness (Lettuce) that keeps for several days.

Seeing the first red rose opened on the fence, I plucked it to take indoors to enjoy since I couldn't work outside. The red Blaze climbers are full of buds and I'm. looking forward to enjoying the splash of color on my fence for some time to come once they start blooming.

They're supposed to be everblooming.

The verbena,s, too, are now in their full glory, and they make the gardens around the pretty homes here in our town sing with color. They are very attractive plants that need So very little care and are excellent soil holders. They can stand sever pruning after which given a good soaking, spring back for more blooming, and rightly earn their space in any garden.

I've just learned why the corn that I pulled and canned last year while the kernels were "in the milk" and tastes so good, is a little tough. I planted the ordinary hybrid field corn, and while it makes excellent roasting ears that have a minimum of bug and worm damage at the tips, the long cooking during the canning tends to toughen the skin on the kernels, probably more cellulos content than the ,sweet corn. For tender kernels one should plant sweet corn or the ordinary Yellod Dent field corn — for canning; purposes.
